This hotel’s deep-pocketed patrons receive perks like access to the enormous SportsClub/LA fitness center and spa, Bulgari toiletries, Bose radios and Bang & Olufsen stereos, all of which come standard with a stay here. Then there are the accommodations: even the most basic, pastel-toned guest rooms are nicely appointed with impossibly crisp bed linens, extra-fluffy pillows, three telephones (yes, even in the bathroom) and large flat-screen TVs. Still not impressed? Have a bath butler come prepare an evening soak in your marble tub, then order room service at any hour you please. On weekdays, call for a complimentary limo ride to your morning meeting. Or reserve a room on the club level, which has its own lounge and concierge. Over the top? Sure. But worth every penny.
